I think it will be a breaking change unfortunately.  To do it safely,
we'd have to obsolete the relevant functions, and introduce new ones
that are not autoloaded.  Which I guess is not ideal here.

I'm closing this bug for now.  If you can think of anything else, please
reopen this bug or file a new one.

Thanks.
